A GOOD MAN AFFLICTED WITH AN INCUBUS

will say this much-that are many peO-
pie who, few years ago, were very
earnest divisiOnists that are now i'm
favor of admission as one state: and
they are not inconsistent in this either.
The times have changed, and in the last
two or three years new arguments have
sprung up on this subject. At one time
it was thought that North and South
Dakota must remain two dis
tinct countries, but the rail-
roads have built across the
divisions and connects the two parts
closely by links of steel. 1t is no longer
necessary to go to st. Paul to reach Bis
marck. The experience of the last leg
islatures and late coventions show that
the combinations are not now heads up
of the men of the North as
against the men of the South 1t works
differently, and the interests that draw
men together are not opposed by sec
tiOns of the country. The old times
have passed away, and a new order of
things have come to pass. What were
reasons for division few yeurs ago no
longer hold now.

Items of Interest Occurring in
This Flourishing City During the
Week.
Special to the Globe.
WATERFOWL, Aug. 26.-Watertown
takes great pride in her base ball team
the champions of South Dakota. Not
satisfied with their beating every club
with whom they contested previous to
starting for North Dakota, the citizens
must organize ball clubs and beat each
other. The fats and leans, the court
house officials and resident attorneys
and the long and short men have all
met ON the diamond, with varying sue
cess.
The Fargo base ball team is expected
here Monday. 1t will play three games
with the Watertown boys and then both
clubs will go to Huron and play three
games there during the encampment of
the Dakota National guards. They will
then return to this city and play three
more games, making a series of nine
and South Dakota.
The professional ball team will be
banQueted by the admirers of the game
in the near future.
Col. NJ. Sheafe has been designated
by Gov. Church as the colonel COM
manding the camp at Huron during the
encampment.
Eleven hundred teams and about 400
men are at work ON the D., w. & P.
railway.
Capt. Hills, of Company II. detailed
Sargt. Bramble and Private Fahnestock
to go to Huron and perfect arrangements
for the coming encampment.
The first train on the Manitoba road is
expected to enter the city limits in one
week from to-day.
The new opera house will be formally
opened early in October.
The new hotel is to be one of the best
and finest in Southeastern Dakota,

Evidently the wild stories about Hon.
NJ. H. DAYS designs upon the national
and territorial administrations are with
out the slightest foundation. The gen.
tleman is buried out in the Black Hills,
away from the communicating influences
of politicians, and gives it Out-on his
own authority-that he is giving no
thought to politics. That ought to set
tie it.

A DISH OF SALAD.

The a1acrity with which enviOuS con-
tempOraries initiate the ideas and policy
of the GLOBE is amusing. The GLOBE
was the first paper in st. Paul or Min
neapOliS to issue Dakota edition, and
both the morning papers soon followed
the example. with what poor success,
however, the people of Dakota may
judge. Then the GLOBE inaugurated
the printing of cartoons, and true to the
custom of following in the wake and imi-
tating a feature which the GLOBE had
made a success, the poor old Pioneer
PresS-in dismal sort of way-came
out with cartoon last week. It's all
right, however. The GLOBE is glad to
teach its contemporaries how to run a
newspaper.
1t is given out by an inside authority
that Gov. PIERCE and Col. CARLE
wrestled for two days over the cartoons
that appeared in last Saturdays Pioneer
Press, and came near having a regular
scrap. The governor had one idea in
regard to it and the colonel another, and
neither would agree to compromise.
Gov. PIERCE had come in all the way
from Dakota to get up the cartoon and
the boom crop editorial, and he was
somewhat inclined to resent the
colonePs interference. After the de-
sign had been agreed upon there was
another wrangle about the space it
should Occupy-Gov. PIERCE insisting
that it be three columns wide, and Col.
CARLE contending for two-the matter
of space being one of the latter's hob
bieS. The governor gained his point,
but Col. earle was dreadfully put out,
and there is danger of serious trouble
between the two ediA's when the next
consultation about the cartoon is held.
~
JUDGE FRANCIS can, in his official
capacity, commit Editor FUTILE to Jail
for contempt of court, but so long as he
cannot have the latter'S head brought in
on cirarger-thus leaving the editor a
chance to copy comments by other pa
pers about the judge into his own with
impunity-TUTTLE will not be very
greatly discouraged.
~
''If no more land Office jobs are to be
given out in Dakota until the terms of
the present incumbC nts EXPIRE" writes
a correspondent, "a man had just as
well be Republican as Democrat" !"
This is a puzzle to ponder over.

THE Aberdeen News gets away off its
base when it says that the GLOBE has
made an attack on Judge FRANCIS. 1t
has done nothing of the kind. 1t has
simply given space to the letters of a

that they would be Jailed for contempt

Has anybody heard about the Yank

The croakers and kickers cannot open
their mouths since Gov. CHURCH made
the Democratic managers of the Sioux
Falls peniten tiary toe the mark, just as
he did the YanktOn trustees. This
effectually explodes the theory of par
tisanship.

TRUE MERIT.

We wish to say to every one interested
in clothes washing that the futile combi-
nation steam washer il an article of true
merritt that it is. without question. the
only complete family washing machine
ever known. II clenses the finest lace or
coarsest article of washing perfectly and
without injury The machine is easily
worked-a child ten years old being cap
able of operating it. and will do wash
ing in two hours that requires q hard
days labor at the wash tub. The steam
washer is universally known as the only
true washer The futile steam washer
is of late origin, and an improvement
over all others or 1t would not have been
granted patent. There has been a large
territory disposed of on the merits of the
Tuttle washer, and while there is good
" field remaining unsold we callenge any
one to produce any enterprise with like
amount of investments that will give an
enterprisiny man the same returns. Ex-
cellent arrangements made with county
agents To prove our claims for the ma
chine, we would refer you to parties who
have used the futile washer in this city
for nearly year, and who speak in high
est terms of praise for the same, or we
will show or operate the washer at your
homes free of charge. Dodge City is our
headquarters for western Kansas. at the

| The TINES has all summer COMMENDED
that Dodge City would have several ad
ditional railroads built to her borders
during the year 1887 If we fall short OF
some of our calculations we shall not be
deserving of censure The building OF
railroads is slow matter, and is attend
ed with many serious drawbacks. But,
we are content if Dodge City receives two
| additional lines of railroad during the
year 1887. What next year will bring
forth we are not prepared to predict now.
Col G. D. Perry, President of the Ar

He completed the arrangements for build

made, and will undoubtedly be accom-

is really hopeful. The building of the

came dinner, after which Mr.. Fealtz ad-
dressed the congregation on the subject
of the Sunday school. A number of
children recited declarations. The ex-

instrumental and vocal. The speeches
were highly entertaining and the dinner

credit for the entertainment and also for

AT seven o'clock Sunday evening, the
fire bells and whistles gave their shrill
alarm, which was promptly responded to
by the hose teams. A car was discover
ed on fire in the vicinity of the round
house, and the fire company started in
that direction, but as soon as they were
ready for business the engine steamed off
up to the depot water tank where the
fire was soon extinguished. The fire bri-
gade was very much chagrined at being
thus deprived of their victory. A queer
feature of this fire fighting business is
that while there is no lack of volunteers
to get the hose cart out to the fire, there
is always wretched scarcity of valiant
soldiers to pull the cart back upthe hill
when the excitement has subsidized.

An excursion train passed through
here Thursday, bearing delegates OH the
way to the Odd Fellows reunion, held at
Denver this week. As was remarked by
citizen, Dodge missed great chance to
advertise herself on that occasion. By
all means a fitting reception should have
of the finest musical aggregations in the
west, and that the band was not on hand
to welcome the excursion at the depot was
certainly great Oversi ght.
